Help with minidumps

soundesciple · 9 Aug 2012 at 15:49

Hay Guys, need a bit of help with getting win 7 to create minidump files.
this is what i have checked so far. :confused:

Debuging info set to Write small memory dumps

Registry set to crash dump enabled 3.
MinidumpDir C:\Windows\Minidump

But still no dump files.

Am i missing something simple or is there a problem?
Any helpfull suggestions Guys. Cheers.

Must be some win 7 wizards out there with some ideas.

My PC set to Kernel memory dumps to %SystemRoot%\MEMORY.DMP
Have you tried those setting?
Someone suggested Who Crashed as I better alternative to Bluescreenview.

I`m sure i have already tried those settings but will have another go.

And i have who crashed, Bluesreen view and WinDbug x64 and x32 all installed.

Have you tried a full memory dump? :/

Aah, Now for some reason there`s no option for a full memory dump in the dropdown box, all i see is (None) - (Small memory dump (256 kb) - and (Kernel memory dump).

That Regedit worked to get the (Full Memory dump) back in the options, But windows still not writing dump files. :confused:

Well Guy`s just to let you know, i done a fresh install of windows, fully updated o/s and all drivers, put all my mainly used programs back on.

Forced a BSOD and guess what? STILL NO ******G DUMP FILES Wrote. :mad:

So i`m no further forword with this one. :confused:

Think i`ll just get the XBOX back out its less of APITA
